The consumerization of IT trend has led to the creation of a wide array of mobile apps designed to make users more productive by enabling them to capture notes, edit documents, manage expenses and sync files on mobile devices. As these mobile devices make their way into the workplace, so do the apps. For enterprise IT, these apps can pose a risk to corporate data, the network and corporate compliance.

Worx-enabled apps by Citrix, third parties and enterprise developers enable IT to address this requirement.
